Re: Transferring a yahoo group in stages?
#transfer
Jeff,
So if we do all but the last step of the transfer, how do we initiate the e-mail to all the users with the info on how to setup their account on ? Do I just run the transfer process again and simply just choose the last option? I don't know if that would work. Being a separate transfer it might send only to the zero members copied in that round. Unless the mechanism keeps track of prior transfers between the same group pairs. Unless someone here has actually tried it, you may have to ask [email protected] what would happen. I would say just post a special notice in either or both groups, and include the info you want. The only thing "special" about the content of the You have been added email is that it contains an opt-out link for those who don't want to be in the Groups.io group. A difference is who receives it. That notice, and your group's Welcome Member Notice would go out to all of the copied members (but only the copied members) regardless of Email Delivery, something that's not quite true of a Special Notice. Also, a Special Notice goes into the group's Messages archive, whereas neither the You've been added nor the Welcome do.

That makes sense about the membership needing to be there to link to the old messages.? So if we do all but the last step of the transfer, how do we initiate the e-mail to all the users with the info on how to setup their account on groups.io? Do I just run the transfer process again and simply just choose the last option? Sorry. Just trying to make sense of it all.?
Thanks, Jeff |

Re: Simple question - is possible to print the Database Tables?
What constitutes a "downloadable file" depends on browser settings and available browser add-ons. For example, I have the Acrobat Reader add-on installed in my browser so PDF files are displayed...if I didn't have that, it would download the file instead. It is also possible to right-click on anything that displays in the browser (like a CSV file) and do a "save as."
If there's some way to countermand such browser settings on the server side, I'm not aware of it. Even if possible, I think it would be best if groups.io didn't get into the habit of trying to guess what I *really* want to do with the hyperlinked files that I click on. My $0.02, Bruce |

Re: Transferring a yahoo group in stages?

Jeff,
I'd like to move everything but the users over first to make sure it all looks ok, then move the users and send the e-mail as a final step. Can this be done? Yes, but not quite the way you're thinking. My understanding is that the Membership must be copied first in order to preserve each member's ownership of their messages and other content. Otherwise you (the one initiating the transfer) ends up linked as the contributor for all the content.? That said, you can uncheck the bottom box of the Transfer form so that no "You've been added" message is sent to the copied members. You can also make your group's Welcome member notice inactive so that isn't sent either. I think that will result in your group being copied over with none of your Y!Group members notified. Then at a time of your choosing you'd be able to announce the changeover. Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Transferring a yahoo group in stages?
#transfer
We're in the process of transferring our yahoo group over and I was curious if it can be done in stages??
I'd like to move everything but the users over first to make sure it all looks ok, then move the users and send the e-mail as a final step. Can this be done? Thanks. Jeff |

Re: Yahoo transfer/Invitations/Subscribe by email conflicts?
#howtoguide
#membership
Dougsinc,
Update: I just sent 586 invitations and got the response "Once your invites have been approved, they will be sent out. You will receive a notification when this happens." Wondering, what is the criteria and how long it might take... Mark is watching out for spammers, I don't know if there's a specific criteria. In the past it has only been a few hours, but with the high level of activity lately I'm not sure.

While logged in, click on your name in the upper right corner, then select Account.? On the page that opens, fill in the new password and click Change Password.

Re: Can someone explain to me... unsubscribed for marking a message as spam
The first part is self-explanatory - they (or their email service) marked a message as spam and cleared the spam folder.? The second is because when that happens an email is sent to them from groups.io explaining what happened, including a link to correct it.? There are several threads here recently about this very thing.

Can someone explain to me... unsubscribed for marking a message as spam
Ok, so I'm minding my own business (I'm the owner of the site), and I see an email that hits my box that says...
"This is to notify you that?XXXX?has been unsubscribed from your group?[email protected]?because they marked a message as spam." I do absolutely nothing. Then a few hours later, I get... "This is to notify you that XXXXXX?has rejoined your group?[email protected]." Can someone explain to me what the heck happened to generate [both] those messages???? Thanks! |
